Zookeeper for a day

David Critchlow, owner, first envisioned a reptile park in the mid 80's,
beginning with a small habitat for small cold-blooded animals indigenous to
Michigan as entertainment for his two growing children. Expanding into tropical
exhibits in the 90's and rescuing reptiles, especially American Alligators in
2001.
David's collection of reptiles and tropical plants has
now transformed into Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary & Zoological Gardens,
which is now located at 1698
M-66 Athens, Michigan. 49011.
The theme behind Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary is to create a natural
environment similar
to those found throughout the world.
The mission of Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary & Zoological Garden's is to
inspire and educate people to care for the environment by providing fun and
educational experiences that lead to understanding the natural world.
